  1. Florida is my home And i love it. DeSantis is trying to ruin Florida. If he gets to be president (God help us) he will try.to ruin America too. Why would anyone want to destroy DISNEY? We love the mouse.

    1. Em

      And that’s why everyone needs to fight him for what’s right, save Florida and America send him to garden on a farm….

      1. Robin Diaz

        He is doing what’s right! This is a load of crap. No one is leaving, they are all moving here!

      5. Kris

        Yes, PLEASE move to California!

      6. George

        Yes, agree. Fickle !! PLEASE do move to Cali and leave Florida ! We need Less people here. Go enjoy the ‘lesser’ Disneyland in Cali !! It’s not DisneyWorld !! Anyway, I don’t love DeSantis, but this is not a big deal !
        People seem to love blowing everything up today into a Big thing. Move on ! Thx.

        1. Sheryl

          Happy to have them move, was getting a bit crowded

        2. Joe

          The opposite is true! People are moving to Florida in droves. Desantis is fighting for our state and if you don’t like it move!

    3. Brian

      LMAO… DELUSIONAL

      1. Ed

        You described yourself perfectly.

    4. Greg

      u have been brainwashed

      1. Ed

        Says the guy who is actually brainwashed.

        1. Napensnake

          Ed, please. Do better. I’ve seen several of your comments and they provide nothing more that a four year old saying, “I know you are but what am I?” Let’s raise the level of discourse, please.

    5. David

      Making up less than 1% of the total population,, please dont flatter yourself.. You are included just like I am. But in the schools I went to we did not teach ethnic studies nor did we teach gender identities . We studied Reading Writing and Arithmetic. We took shop classes and Home economics . Lets stick to the basics .. And no one is trying to destroy The Mouse
      Think Budweiser …..

      1. Nancy

        ❤️

      2. Jasper

        Exactly. If you want to leave because of what DeSantis is doing, please feel free to leave. After all it’s your right. Think Target….

      3. Beast latino

        True that. Liberals have a mental illness that is not normal. I don’t care who you want to be with. I just don’t want your personal sexual decisions in the classroom.

      4. Vivian

        Agree@

    6. John

      You’re insane. Best State in the Country. Why do you think so many people are flocking into the State?
      Only the whack jobs are leaving and we are thankful for that.
      Bye bye

      1. Sam

        😎👍

      2. Don Hill

        Home run!

      3. Carol

        That’s right! Bye, Ya’ll!!!

      4. Nancy

        ❤️

      5. Ed

        Oh, there are whack jobs here alright. Too bad the majority of them don’t realize that it’s the one’s who are pointing the finger that are whacked.

      6. Ned

        AMEN !!!

    7. Steven Eskow

      Grow up. DeSantis is trying to preserve the moral values that built this country while the left is trying to destroy them.

      1. Ann

        Like hate, exclusion, abuse, discrimination?

        1. Kris

          You are clueless. There is no hate, exclusion, abuse, discrimination. Oh, but wait that’s right….that’s what the left tells you so that you will hate him. The man is honorable and holding Disney accountable for paying their fair share. Since when is it okay for big corporations to get away with paying taxes like the rest of us? Why? Because they’re Disney??
          Get a clue. We need more people like him to hold them accountable.

        2. Scrappy

          If dems ran the country we would be occupied by 2035. I pray for a huge earthquake that eliminates the west coast craziness

      2. Karen Fread

        👍

    8. Carmen

      People like you shouldn’t be aloud to breath air…
      It’s obvious you don’t have young children or grandchildren

      1. Ed

        Typical “Conservative”. Anyone that doesn’t agree with your point of view you want to see dead.

      2. Geo.

        Poor reply, Carmen. Pretty sure you’re wrong by the way!
        Why not reply with less hate and more of why you feel the way you do. The guy was only talking about HIS thoughts and beliefs of preserving moral values, not about doing away with Disney !!! Or negative at all about kids ! OMG.

    9. UselesssLiberals

      You’re a Floridian traitor! DeSantis is SAVING Florida from the illegal alien invasion and the war with woke-ism. I’m with him 100%. Also, Florida is MY home, too!….Get with the program!

      1. Natalie

        There is no illegal alien invasion and what do you mean when you say woke? Florida farmers have oroduce rotting in the fields because migrants have left the state. Desantis cut medicaid so poor people can’t see the doctor. Desants is a nightmare.

    10. L

      He’s trying to keep Florida in the right order. Enough of all the ways people are trying to put upon children things adults should only be doing. Go ahead and love the mouse Margie but please always help to keep our children safe.

    11. Jeremy Snelling

      So people are leaving Florida and moving to California? How is this a loss for DeSantis? They are people who are a no vote for him for Gov if he runs for reelection and not enough to offset the loss in taxes. You ask me it’s a win for him.

      1. Abby

        The dictator is term limited genius.

        1. Born And Raised In Florida Gov Ron DeSantis is the best Gov Florida has ever had 🇺🇲.
          Please Move To California And Take The New Yorkers With You.
          Florida is getting over crowded.
          Bye Bye 👋.
          Hope they have a good life in California And New York.

    12. Daryl Darby

      Margie. If you hate FL move to CA. They would love to have you.

    13. Eugene Albrecht

      Go away, lefty, Florida is great because of DeSantis!
      What are you smoking?

      1. Ed

        Obviously, you have bypassed smoking and went straight to shooting up.

    14. Lu

      LOL, Please move to California!! You can have all the “freedom” you want (and probably crime among other things!). Biden has pretty much cornered the market on being the worst President in history, it is a wonder he can still read a teleprompter without saluting the Queen or read subtitles or inviting dead relatives on to the stage. By the time he gets done there wont be anything left of America for any President to do anything, fix or ruin…

      1. Ed

        As we can plainly see, you prefer someone that emulates the totalitarians of the world to someone that governs for the benefit of the people.

    15. MamaMG

      It isn’t the Mouse that is the problem with Disney. I was there with my family last yr and complained because there were men dressed as “girls” in the ladies bathroom! Sorry, not having it! Disney has lost our $$$.

      1. Kris

        Exactly! Thank you! Some of these people just don’t get it.

    16. Clay Haggadone

      I couldn’t agree with you anymore on this……!!! It’s/He is SCARY

    17. Sherry L

      I totally agree! I live in Florida as well and this Governor is a nightmare!

      1. Vivian

        Please move to California, you’ll be must happier there!!!

    18. ForFreedom

      I would ask you to please leave Florida. We do not need socialists/communists anti freedom nits who have no clue what is happening to our country under the biden mafia.

    19. Vivian

      Please move to California, you’ll be must happier there!!!

    20. Don

      The Governor is doing the right thing! Florida doesn’t need this Disney propaganda in our state. I know Walt would never allow this to happen. If people are leaving Florida because of this or our Governor, I can assure we don’t want theme here anyway…

    21. nb

      completly agree with you.

  2. Maria A.

    I think that being different and having a different way of seeing things does not make us worst. Governor Ron DeSantis is doing an excellent job here in Florida. He has not demonstrated any wrongdoing with this law. Disney is for everyone. Children and adults will enjoy the attractions as usual. We recognize his great effort in making this state a great state.

    1. Florida man

      When people look at your state they think of a guy beating a ATM for giving him too much money

      Whats that tell you? lol

    2. Mia

      100% agreed. The whole “Don’t Say Gay” term isn’t even accurate. DeSantis’s bill doesn’t even come close to saying that gay is bad. And no matter what DeSantis does, the parks stay the same. It isn’t like he’s changing the rides and annihilating the parks altogether. I really believe that anyone can go and enjoy Disney regardless of political view, and those who are boycotting the parks because of the governor are really only looking for drama.

      1. Snicker

        They aren’t boycotting. Disney has made it unaffordable to a lot of people. Disney did that not the governor! Disney stock was just downgraded by the stock exchange and stock holders are revolting. You very very small % of lunatic left make no difference. Remember Bud Light Target it’s the sane conservatives that make a difference. Get over yourselves you are nothing in the grand scheme of things.

    3. Thomas

      I could not agree more Maria. well said.

    4. Heather R

      Absolutely agree with you!

    5. There IS something wrong with bigotry which DeSantis infused into all his woke legislation. Period.

      1. Lou

        Read the Bill

        1. Lou

          Actually, I don’t think the Bill goes far enough. Keep inappropriate sexual content out of school altogether!
          Teach our ids to think, not what to think!!!
          CHINA IS AT THE BACK DOOR FOOLS!

          1. Ed

            The only thing Republicans ever offer is fear-mongering. They have no policies. No platform other than doing whatever Trump wants. DeSatan is just another fear-mongerer shouting Woke! Woke! Woke! to stir up the base that needs constant red meat to live.

          2. Don

            Yes!

    6. JT

      Amen!

    7. Evelyn Dodd

      I agree with you, Maria….you have said it all in a very few well chosen words.

    8. Midniteangel

      Yes, he is trying to protect children.

    9. Chuck

      Well said Maria we love Ron and Florida

    10. Russell A Smith

      Governor DeSantis is doing a great job protecting us and our kids. WOKE Community doesn’t like it! Maybe WOKE would be a lot better off to quit pushing their agenda. People get sick of it. The World is big enough for all of us, stop making a spectacle of yourselves.

      1. Caba

        I pity his children.

        1. Peggy

          I pity yours! And if you don’t have any, well that’s a good thing!

    11. Open mind

      Maria – open your eyes & more importantly your mind if you think DEATHSANTIS IS DOING A GOOD JOB. Enough said!

      1. Sherry L

        Agreed, she is delusional!

      2. Don

        The Governor is doing a GREAT job!

    12. Caba

      And “excellent job” of telling other people what they can and cannot do! and that you call “freedom”?!? He’s absolutely rabid.

      1. Kat

        Ron Desantis is destroying Florida and Disney World. He is a big loser.yes, he is rabid!

    13. beverly

      Exactly!!

    14. Deb

      Yes!

    15. Tita

      Oh boy you really believe he is doing what it’s right? If you do, you are part of the problem 🙄🙄🙄♥️

    16. Iris

      I agree. DeSantis is pro family and morality

    17. Sandra

      DeSantan is a nut case. You can have guns but you can only read what DeSantan wants you to read. It seems that in his mind black history which is American history never happened. He’s trying to erase black american history and keep all other culture and history alive. I pray to God that he falls as president and be stopped from destroying Florida. I pray that we get a ballot going to stop his madness. I for one a Florida tax payers do not want to pay his salary while he seeks other employment. How many companies do you know that will pay you while looking for another job. Well that’s what Floridians are doing and I am mad as he’ll that his cult would even submit such a bill. Did you notice that he did not announce his campaign for president until after he signed it into law to keep his job with Florida.

      1. Ed

        You are spot on Sandra!

    18. Stephanie

      Your first two sentences contradict each other. DeSantis is NOT doing a good job, & one reason is because if u r different, or think differently, from him, then he thinks u r wrong & the worst possible person. Look what happened/is happening with Disney World as well as anyone that doesn’t consider themselves straight. He is a petty & childish man that needs to grow up & just leave politics for all our sakes.

  3. Lee

    Desantis see what u r doing. Causing many families to leave Florida because of your ignorance. U need to leave Florida.

    1. Brian

      LMAO…

    2. Let them go back home. Help them pack and good riddance! OMG if Newsom ever becomes president we all better learn Chinese!

      1. Midniteangel

        You are so right. It is so bizarre some just don’t see what is going on in this country.

      2. Kat

        Ron Desantis is destroying Florida and Disney World. He is a big loser.yes, he is rabid!there is nothing wrong with immigrants coming to our country. You are a selfish bunch of people.

    3. Little Fish

      hahaha… that’s hilarious ..

    4. Greg

      move to CA .. u will be back in a month ..lol

    5. I’m with Margie, don’t mess with Mickey!!! cause you will lose.

    6. Jeff

      Bye Bye

    7. Steve

      No Lee, you need to go as its evident your part of the far left problems here in Florida!!!!!!

    8. UselesssLiberals

      Go somewhere else with that propaganda, your FL traitor!

    9. RedOC

      There is no source given and no evidence of “people leaving Florida in droves”. I don’t buy it.

    10. beverly

      and for every “family” leaving Florida because of the Parental Rights in Education law…. 10 come TO Florida because their…. Parental Rights are protected and their kids aren’t subjected to sexual orientation in school.

    11. Lori

      You’re the typical woke person. He is not going after trans or gay people. He doesn’t want children to be medically altered until they can give their own legal consent. Get it right.

    12. Lou

      I understand that U-Haul has great one-way rates.

    13. Daryl Darby

      Bless your little heart Lee. Correct me if I’m wrong….
      Florida has had the largest increase in population while liberal led states like CA, NY, MA, IL continue to lose fed up residents by the tens of thousands. All the people fleeing to Florida must love Desantis and hate Liberal policies and taxes.

    14. George Ellis

      It’s all a matter of perspective. If people don’t like it here, moving is exactly what they should be doing. It makes room for people up north who are waiting for the opportunity to move here AND it opens up some housing for current residents having a tough time with cost of living due to the net increase of our families here in the Great State of Florida! Thanks Ron. Keep up the good work.

    15. Mary

      That’s a good thing! It’s getting too crowded here.

  4. Fred Frick

    Disney world needs to move to CA also. How in the heck is this a win for Disney? Let the child mutilating woke sob’s move back to CA.

    1. Good idea

      I agree
      Let your states number one employer which relies almost entirely on tourism lose all its money lol

    2. The Ghost of Bobbie Lee

      Good riddance to the heathen mobs. They’ll be gleeful in Commiefornia and Florida will be cleaner.

    3. Anton

      Amen my friend..when all you fornians go back to your woke state take a bunch more of your tribe with you. Good riddance

    4. Ugh another De Satén 🖕 California is way better than Florida!! Why do you think everyone is moving there?🤦🏻‍♀️🖕🤡😂🤣

    5. Brian

      Absolutely correct.

    6. Jeff

      Bye Bye

    7. JT

      Amen brother…good riddance to them and their sick agenda. Their day of reckoning awaits them and the poison they push on children. Shame on them…

    8. Midniteangel

      Yes, they don’t like Desantis because he doesn’t want children to be cut up and used and abused. These ppl need to move to Mars.

    9. Linda

      C’mon now.
      You have it backwards!
      Everyone from CA is coming to glorious FL. DeSantis is doing an amazing job protecting our children from the terrible woke people. I was born in FL and proud of it! You’re dreaming if you think any sane person would leave our state.
      #DeSantisforFlorida

    10. Dana

      Child mutilating? Florida Man speaks his mind, laughable.

    11. charley Shrubber

      so much BS Fred !

    12. Keorlet

      You really need to explain how Disney is doing anything detrimental to children! Never before DeSantis was this an issue. He is politicizing and forcing his brainless perception on the rest of us! Booooooo …. DeSantis!

    13. Iris

      Indeed!

  5. C. Munnings

    We reap what we sow.

    1. Anton

      Good riddance…all you woke folk don’t let the gators bite your butts on the way back to fornia. Take the rest of your tribe with you. Florida has been getting a little crowded anyway and housing way too expensive. Go woke go broke…hooyah🤣

      1. Jeff

        I agree

      2. Midniteangel

        AMEN

        1. Lou

    2. JT

      And the ‘new Disney’ has sowed perversion and evil, and they are reaping the tidal wave of pushback from families and state leadership that is telling them to get out of our state and take their sickness back to where it’s bred and tolerated…California.

      1. Midniteangel

        AMEN

    3. DeSantan is a nut case. You can have guns but you can only read what DeSantan wants you to read. It seems that in his mind black history which is American history never happened.

    Goodbye…….
    We don’t need that kind of Ideology here in Florida anyway…..
    You have the right to live wherever you want to…… I suggest that you do….!!!

    1. Midniteangel

      For sure

    2. Sharon E Tinnin

      You folks may think you want Disney gone, or say you don’t care..?? Well, You should care and try to think Logically about this. Right now, Disney is one of Florida’s largest if not the largest MONEY source. .. so.. yeah.. get rid of Disney and let’s all start living in an impoverished state a few years later. Disney goes, jobs go, infrastructure goes.
      We Need Disney.

      And as for someone’s lifestyle, as long as that lifestyle doesn’t personally affect you, what do you care?? Why should you care. Not your business not your concern.

      1. Ed

        Bravo!

    3. Sharon E Tinnin

      And as for someone’s lifestyle, as long as that lifestyle doesn’t personally affect you, what do you care?? Why should you care. Not your business not your concern. Some of you folks need to learn to Live and Let Live. If you don’t want to do that.. move to a deserted Island or secluded bunker somewhere where you don’t have to interact with humans and be miserable by yourself.

      .. I’m still looking forward to going to Disney. Leave it alone.

    4. Iris

      100% agree

    5. Gd

      Fascism is what you like

  7. JT

    We had a family meeting and we decided to leave Florida. It was more about free speech that DeSantis likes but only his. He holds it against you if it’s not the free speech he wants to hear. Plus with all his friends in Tallahassee giving him what he wants is worse. It will go further down hill from here. So half the family is moving to Southern CA, and half to Nevada.

    1. Brian

      We are happy you left. Please stay where you are now.

    2. JT

      From one JT to another…don’t let the doors hit you when you leave. The sickness and perversion of CA and NV await you.

  8. Linda

    Moving to CA? Overpriced and ridden with crime? Hallelujah then

    1. Keorlet

      Are you trying to say Florida does not have crime? It is the third most dangerous state in the country!

    2. Sam

      😎👍

  9. Doug

    Go fornicate California. It is losing people by the droves thanks to the woke nonsensical ideology!

  10. Linda

    Good Riddance!

  11. Skip

    Your premise is not supported by the data. Many more are moving to Florida than leaving. I’m grateful for those who think California is better that they actually leave. Thank you. More room for the unwoke crowd

  12. GWB

    Very happy with recent DeSantis legislation. Early elementary students should not be exposed to these genders issues by public employees who have demonstrated, by achievement score results, a lack of competence in teaching core subjects. Gender issues should be taught in the home, not by the incompetent government educational system.

  13. Cheryl

    Don’t let the door hit you on your butt on your way to CA. You won’t be missed. I’m so tired of your intolerance for anyone’s opinions but your own. Have at it CA.

  14. “FLORIDA FALLS”

    What kind of bias is that in reporting this story? There is no metric where the state is falling , rather picking up many people relocating from Blue States!

    1. Little Fish

      The falling number of woke Kool-Aid drinking Zombi LBTGQ+

  15. Jon

    Florida is trash. Always has been and always will be.

    1. Well spoken from a heathen ? BYE

      1. Lou

        Actually, I don’t think the Bill goes far enough. Keep inappropriate sexual content out of school altogether!
        Teach our ids to think, not what to think!!!
        CHINA IS AT THE BACK DOOR FOOLS!

  16. Keith

    Who writes this stuff ??? People are not leaving Florida. It is the complete opposite. Where they are leaving is California. I guess you can write anything these days and hope people just believe it.

  17. Claude

    Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way back to the people’s republic of California. It is real easy to find a U-Haul truck in Florida. U-Haul might even pay you to take one back to California.

  18. Wyatt

    They can return all of the Uhauls trucks back to California where they came from.

  19. Paul

    If Hollywood (i.e. California) wasn’t shoving this WOKE ideology down everyone’s throat, there wouldn’t be a need to take action to try and control it. You are free to believe what you believe, do what you do, and think as you think, but just because everyone doesn’t believe, do or think as you do, doesn’t make everyone else wrong and we don’t really want to listen to why you may think you’re right. Just keep your beliefs and ideologies to yourself and learn to get along with everyone else!

    1. Midniteangel

      Yes, the closet was a much better place for them.

  20. Why don’t you look at the numbers. Take your pathetic drivel somewhere else. Head on out to Cali, y’all can be in one cesspool together. ❤

    1. Heather R

      Yessss! Agreed!

  21. JC

    Don’t walk away mad, just walk away!!
    DeSantis for President!!

    1. Kenneth

      Exactly

  22. Kenneth

    Thank God for Ron DeSantis. If anybody doesn’t like his policies move to California good riddance. Thank God I can only pray he becomes president. God already allowed 9/11 as judgment for abortion I’m waiting for Him to rain down brimstone and fire like Sodom and Gomorrah on America God have mercy on us please help us.

    1. Midniteangel

      AMEN

  23. chris

    Win for me…..less traffic

  24. Donna

    I am behind DeSantis. As a native Floridian, I have seen how Disney has destroyed our natural environment. Hats off to DeSantis. You have the right to live wherever you want so leave my state.

    This is the biggest made up, BS story I have read in quite a while. No facts or stats to back it up either. ITM is a joke and you are no journalist. Florida is growing by 2500 people a day. Stop lying and be a real journalist, not a hack for all the child mutilators, groomers, weirdos and mentally disturbed LGTBQIA+EIEIO degenerates. Lol

    1. Midniteangel

      AMEN

  26. Greg

    typical lie by the left-wing media ..anyone who believes it must be really uneducated or blind . People moved to FL in 1000s because of DeSantis policies. He is the best …BTW good luck in CA ..im sure u will be loving taxes , homeless people taking dumps on ur grass , gas prices … just few … lol

    1. Midniteangel

      AMEN

  27. Dragonlady

    If they’re bringing their warped politics with them, I hope they DO move back. Every week brings another child trafficking bust with yet ANOTHER Disney employee…and you people think it’s such a great place still? Walt is rolling in his grave!

    1. Midniteangel

      Walt must be turning over in his grave to see what is happening to children.

  28. DeLaunhardt

    …..meanwhile in the REAL WORLD more people are moving out of Kalifornia and New York than any other states in the union…..

    According to Snopes, who was checking the validity of my above statement it concluded that it is TRUE!!!

    So move to Kali if you want….we WON’T MISS YA!!

  29. Kim

    Lies all lies
    Ain’t nobody running from Florida
    Our population has grown while California is declining

  30. Frankez

    Disney World Park was the only money producer this year, all their movie and Network stuff lost money the parks in other countries don’t do as well than Disney World does. I know many employees that are scared to say anything about the woke culture there. Many say its has changed drastically Walt would not recognize it today

  31. Rae

    Please leave. I wish DeSantis would close our borders with a sign that says “this lot is full”. Disney has gotten to big for their britches. So, please, go to California. Thank you.

  32. Neal

    Spent 15K – 20K every few years on large (17) family vacation to WDW. We won’t any more and have stopped our Disney channel. Florida is great and we will be back, just not for WDW. If you want to change a country’s culture, change China’s! Oh…that would hurt the pocket book more than what you are loosing in the USA.

    1. PCH

      That’s just plain silly to repetitively spend on Disney.

      But did you keep your Hulu and ESPN+ subscription? Because it’s cheaper to include Disney+.

  33. Buggsie

    .01% leaving is not going to impact Florida. When we fall so far that not protecting our children is a reason to exit then by all means you who don’t agree with protecting them should leave. We are proud of our Governor and our state. All the uhauls that came here and to Texas are waiting to haul your unhappy hinnies back to California. Bye bye

  34. carol

    where in the world do you get your facts?? we have had record numbers of new residents for at least a couple years. california has had major drop in residents. this is crazy unfactual personal opinion of some kind of liberal whiner

  35. John Ellwood

    I’m glad to read that people who disagree with the good that has been done for Florida are leaving in droves. I only hope it is true…Disney overstepped and tried to influence politics. Desantis is good for Florida and would be good for this Country. I’m so tired of hearing about pushing agendas on children. They need to learn the basics and learn logic and reason, how to think, not what to think.

    1. Midniteangel

      AMEN

  36. Lana

    Florida was beautiful til Disneyland moved here.
    It all should be razed as soon as possible.

    1. B

      Yes it was!

  37. Lana

    Truer words never spoken. Good riddance to them & don’t let the door hit you in your arse!

  38. DC

    Sounds like woke minded whining to me! I say don’t let the door hit you on your way out. Cali sounds like your place to live. Enjoy the High Tax base, Smog, Over crowded highways, Wildfires, Earthquakes, Gov Newsome, Pelosi…etc. As a new Floridian, I love it here. Unfortunately the fact that all the Liberal minded folks moving here (because they cant afford their own states policies) are bothered as to why they cant change Florida into the kind of state they are leaving is a problem we right minded people have to live with. Fortunately we have strong leadership that will keep us from becoming another California or New York…You guys can keep your Crime, Homelessness, High Taxes and liberal agenda. And enjoy the new Disney+ show Pauline…about a pregnant teen who falls in love with Satan…Truth be told. Sorry but the cute mouse we all loved as a kid is slowly becoming the Rat. Wonder what that new ride will be like at the park?

  39. Stan

    Liberal lies. Population of FL has increased about 200K in 21 and 22, so they are not leaving in “droves”. And who is leaving? Green haired liberals, who is moving in conservatives. Make FL RED forever!!!

  40. John Greenwald

    This whole story mentions one family that is leaving. The facts don’t back up your story. It is the biggest piece of liberal propaganda I’ve read this year. To however many really are leaving, I say good riddance.

  41. TLB

    See ya! You’re a better fit in California!

  42. Mick E Mouse

    DIsney stock broke 200 2 years ago. It’s under 90 now. That tells you all you need to know.

  43. Bambi

    Bye bye Felicia! Florida doesn’t want Californias woke ways. Don’t indoctrinate and mutilate our children! When they are of legal age they have the right to choose for themselves.

  44. Rick

    Sounds like a BIG win for Florida! The Gov. said “Florida is where Woke comes to die”. Guess he was right! Bye Bye…

  45. Steve W.

    Glad to see them go back. Don’t California or New York my Florida. Don’t leave a state to bring you bad policies here!!
    Go DeSantis!!!

  46. DD

    Let them go. We are a better state without them.

  47. Bazh

    Just take care of the animals at the Disney Animal Kingdom and don’t let them suffer b/c of any declining attendence. Better yet- relocate them to CA- San Diego zoo perhaps?

  48. Brice

    but Disney world has more money in it so i woul’nt call this a win just a win for smaller Disney where less attractions are. and a loss in revenue where the most money was invested.

  49. Scott

    I see this as another win for Desantis, Please move back to California quickly before you change your mind, you people are sick and Florida doesn’t need you around are kids,, I left CA along time ago and would never go back to that shxx hole… Disney needs to be broken up along with BlackRock and Vanguard these company’s are evil and are working to destroy America and control the world,,, almost there…

  50. Colleen

    Are you sensoring comments???? I don’t see them being posted. The truth about disney is already out in the open.
    You can’t hide what you have done.

  51. Turfqueen

    Good Riddance!! Goodbye!! YOU cannot leave our great state soon enough!! GO TO CALIFORNIA!!! You deserve that place, and they deserve you. Only Fools cannot see the good that our wonderful Governor is doing for us Floridians!!

  52. Midniteangel

    I am sooooo happy to see the MAJORITY agree that Desantis is a great Gov and that mutilating children is so wrong.

  53. Terry

    Good riddance. He didn’t call it the don’t say gay bill. Wake up. Go to California and see how you like it. Bye!

  54. José M

    What a bunch of crap. The only ones moving are the same woke people that are in favor of kids grooming and mutilation. They can leave , we don’t need them in Florida were RON DESANTIS is doing an excellent job in the economy and killing the wipe agenda on its track. If Disney leaves we’ll bring six flags and/or any other company that doesn’t want to poison our kids.

  55. B

    Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out! Maybe some of the regular Floridians will be able to go back. A lot of FL residents no longer even try to go to the World anymore. FL will not suffer a bit from those that move. Orlando is a tourist destination in spite of Disney!

  56. GIgi

    I am happy that people are moving out of Florida! It has been very difficult to get around because many, many people have moved here in the last few years. The smaller towns are getting overrun with people.
    If it makes you happy to move to CA go for it!

  57. Carl L Eicher

    Buckshot. Gov DeSantis is family first. Not Disney orWoke.

  58. Das

    The woke folks can all move!! Don’t need their ideas in Florida! Good riddance!

    1. Caba

      Sure let’s all be so proud of bigotry and ignorance, right? Who wants to be aware of other people? Not you! You only care about you and yours and your own opinions.

  59. Ted

    The more that leave Florida for California improves Florida, so move right along California is welcome to them.

  60. Dennis

    Good riddance

  61. Christopher Akin

    This story made me laugh so hard it wasn’t even funny. All you have to do is actually look at the facts and see that California is the number one state everyone is leaving and Florida is in the top five people are moving to. So stop trying to talk nonsense

  62. TomD

    I think people who return to CA are doing us a favor. They want to make FL like CA which is the most screwed up state 8n the country. Lots 9f folks all over the country will come here because they’re tired of the woke bs politics of places like CA and NY

  63. kelly

    I think it is great that everyone is moving to California, very very good news !!!
    My bet is NOT ONE person actually goes because the cost of living is so high and there are homeless, drug addicts everywhere. The fast disappearing Middle class cannot begin to afford a home in CA or pay the taxes. What a joke.

  64. beverly

    For every “family” leaving Florida because of “don’t say gay”….. TEN families come to Florida because their children are safe from Woke BS wanting to invade the parents rights in education. It’s not “don’t say gay” It’s Parents rights in education!! Governer Desantis is AWESOME!!

  65. Colmcille

    Goodbye! I know for a fact that those coming into FL far outnumber those leaving. By the way, you can go to CA. You got Disneyland there! Along with Gavin Newsome, incredible homeless problem, gas prices at least $1.50 more a gallon than here in FL, state income tax.

  66. Eric R

    The more that move, the better. This place is too darn packed anyway.

  67. Sam

    GOODBye…we love Florida and we appreciate Governor DeSantis protecting our children.

  68. Bob

    Don’t let the door hit you as you leave!

  69. John

    Yeah! Good bye. Florida doesn’t need woke people. Go Gov.

  70. Brent

    Good example of one woke liberal writing something that is fake. House prices out of sight because of demand from people moving to Florida and average rent has doubled or more in last 3 years average 300.000 a month relocating here. This is the bunk they try to push their 🌈 platform.

  71. Pymouth

    Here’s the facts per 2023 US Census
    California Growth
    -0.29% (-113,649)

    Florida Growth Rate
    1.87% (416,754)

  72. BG

    DisneyWorld should also relocate or ban the right from their properties in a quid pro quo.

  73. Pj

    No numbers or facts, just ideas and false perceptions.

  74. E

    YOU CAME HERE FROM THERE BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T LIKE IT THERE AND YOU WANNA CHANGE HERE TO BE LIKE THERE.
    YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, ONLY DON’T TRY TO MAKE HERE LIKE THERE. IF YOU WANNA MAKE HERE LIKE THERE, YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE LEFT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

  75. Lou

    I understand that U-Haul has great one-way rates.

  76. Connie Hatton

    Disneyland is in California and if people don’t like the good that deSantis is doing, California is exactly where they should be.

  77. If those folks want to leave and move to a state with high taxes and expensive go. DeSantis is protecting our children about being taught gender identity in elementary school. I am all for it and Disney is pathetic to support that. Being gay is fine with me don’t push it down kids throats. You have gay pride month what happened to Memorial Day one day for soldiers who taught for our freedom??. Woke needs to go. So move on it allows others to find a place to live in Florida

  78. RR95

    Florida Fall ? Lol clearly you are living under a rock. Florida is thriving. As a native Angeleno who moved here during the pandemic, I am move thankful for this state leadership

  79. Lou

    Actually, I don’t think the Bill goes far enough. Keep inappropriate sexual content out of school altogether!
    Teach our ids to think, not what to think!!!
    CHINA IS AT THE BACK DOOR FOOLS!

  80. OneMoreOldMan

    Don’t let the door hit you on your way out. There are plenty of sane people moving in to take your place.

  81. Ray Badini

    What a joke. How many families have left California, the home of Disneyland, to move to Florida? Whoever wrote that piece of propaganda is a Disney plant.

  82. Jack

    Your “facts” simply aren’t true. For example, the majority of people in Florida, contrary to your opinion, support DeSantis. Where, by the way, is the evidence that droves of families are leaving Florida. The census doesn’t support you on that one. It goes on. You have a host of OPINIONS but your opinions are far from factual. Oh, and there never was any legislation about “don’t say gay” – that is just one more inaccurate misrepresentation in your tome. I’ve had enough. I actually had hoped this would be a worthwhile site.

  83. Brenda

    Good for Governor Desantis! I think Disney was made for kids but obviously they have more of a WOKE agenda! Happy for our Governor!!!

  84. Ginny

    Bye Bye!! Have a good life in California. Desantis is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!

  85. John

    You do realize this delusional dream you just reported is just that over 90,000 folks have left California, New York and The Land of Lincoln alone and moved to Florida in the last 2 years alone. I do not believe that many left because Disney got spanked like a child who did bad by their parent. Oh no that man said spank your children that is child abuse Oh My God oh wait we are not supposed to believe in God…. Arrrrrgh I am so confused maybe I should have a grown man dressed like a woman read to my 5 year old that will make it all better…..

  86. Frank

    Droves are moving out of Florida? Show some statistics. It is like Biden saying he has reduced the deficit by 1.7 trillion even though it is over 3 trillion more than when he took over. Almost a 1000 are moving in to Fla EVERY DAY. Those that are moving out will provide more housing for those moving in. Good riddance to you all.

  87. Eddie

    Na na na na
    Na na na na
    Hey Hey Hey
    Goodbye!!

  88. joe

    Bye bye and take your politics with you

  89. Miguel

    Everyone who moved here from Cali is moving back ? Awesome !!! Please move back lol

  90. Bobby D.

    See ya don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split ya!!!

  91. Sarah craig

    Thrilled for them to go back West with their woke ideology.

  92. Tina

    Once DeSantis loses the tax revenue from Disney; (since they are the biggest avenue for Florida’s revenue) then the state will begin to suffer.
    Think about it, how many more big companies will leave? How will you run a state without adequate revenue?
    I applaud Disney for fighting back!! We do not need a dictator & that is what DeSantis wants to be.

  93. Napensnake

    I am not sure I understand how Disney “wins” in this situation. I would think Disney wins if more people pay to participate in their offerings. You claim people are leaving Florida which is a win for Disney but if people leave Florida, they are equally reducing an immediate source of revenue for Disney. If you are saying Disney wins because people are leaving Florida and thereby embarrassing DeSantis, you are merely arguing about a perception.
    Can we please look at what is good or bad for Florida rather than saying something may not look good for an individual therefore, somebody in opposition to that person wins? Again, Disney does not win if people move away from Florida.

  94. cher

    I think the people leaving are left wingers…….so it is not hurting the Red Florida state at all.

  95. Kris

    You are clueless. There is no hate, exclusion, abuse, discrimination. Oh, but wait that’s right….that’s what the left tells you so that you will hate him. The man is honorable and holding Disney accountable for paying their fair share. Since when is it okay for big corporations to get away with paying taxes like the rest of us? Why? Because they’re Disney??
    Get a clue. We need more people like him to hold them accountable.

  96. Kris

    This is just ANOTHER futile attempt from a liberal “journalist” who is trying to sway people. This is what they do when they see they’re losing and have nothing. Write a BS story to try and get a rise out of people. Sorry, but Those who know, know! GO! MOVE TO CALIFORNIA!

  97. Quad

    So illegal immigrants are leaving Florida, Disney fans are leaving Florida, inconsequential groups are canceling their conferences in Florida, and it goes on …. to punish Florida because of DeSantis’ policies. As they say out west, maybe it’s time to “thin out the herd”. First of all, Florida is not DeSantis. He is a temporary phenomenon that will pass. But the “daisies” will wilt and disappear with the heat. In the mean time the true contributors will thrive and continue to make Florida a great place to be a part of.

    1. David Cravatta

      And we keep growing. Go figure.

  98. Irene

    I think, if Disney Florida decided to pull out of Florida little by little, this state will go to the alligators. Disney is one of, if not the largest employer of the state. An all of it’s tributaries it brings it. We already see the migrant workers are leaving to other states. They’ve left empty homes, it looks like ghost towns, sad to see. Now who will pick our fruit and vegetables? Prices will soar. Unemployment will rise, homes will be foreclosed, vehicles will be repossessed, I mean, chaos is what’s going to happen to Florida for s little while. All because of a few words. Think about this for a bit.

  99. Karilyn

    I thank god for him and his great decision.. it’s god way he didn’t make Adam and Adam he made Adam and Eve!!!! So please make your way out of this state you won’t be missed

  100. ALS

    DaSantis is such a boob. This blissfully ignorant buffoon, pie faced, stammering mule needs to take his political agenda and and shove it. He’s an ugly soul and God is watching.

  101. Good For Gov Ron DeSantis 🇺🇲.
    Born And Raised In Florida Gov Ron DeSantis is The Best Gov Florida Has Ever Had.
    Please Move To California And Take The New Yorkers Back With You.
    We Are So Proud Of Our Gov Ron DeSantis For Always Looking Out For Us Floridans.
    Bye Bye The Less People In FLORIDA The Better We Are Over Crowded As It Is.

  102. Mike C

    Move to California. Don’t forget to take your shovels to move the $hit off of the sidewalks when you arrive. GOOD BYE FOREVER!!!

  103. Skip

    Go ahead and move to Calif. Disney has got Too expensive anyway for me to take my kids there. I have to make reservations a year in advance and must have a reservation to ride each ride. This is not to mention the higher taxes in California, the higher price of most everything, You have to pay way more for gas, and you need that every day, not just when you go to D.Land. Go ahead and pay through the nose for everyday life and move to California.
    So many Californians are moving to Florida to get away from all the BS, and we have the ocean, the Gulf, palm trees , great weather too.

  104. Walt

    Hahahah a what a load of bullcrap. Oh there might be a few leaving but the VAST VAST VAST majority are moving TO Florida and OUT of communist California. You really are living in Fantasyland

  105. Cyndi

    This is exactly what DeSantis and the “ Reds” what! Don’t leave, just vote blue and watch how Florida becomes a normal state that allows “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”

  106. For me Disney is a recreation Park not a Political Arena . I am with De Santis . You want to move go ahead, good luck 🌹

  107. Ron Williams

    How is it winning when in reality you’re cowardly running away in fear?

    “Yay! We’re winning because we’re cowardly losers!!!”

    Only the fascist left would call running away winning.
    DeSantis has won because he ran you out. DeSantis is the winner as well as Floridians. They both get what they want – no fascist leftist liberals in their state.

    You win by destroying the opposition NOT by running from it.

    1. David Cravatta

      Yep. We sure are. When are you leaving?

  108. David Cravatta

    Time for you to leave too. You don’t like DeSantis cleaning up your crap, take a hike

  109. Robert Wiley

    Due to the fight DeeSantis picked with Disney (because he has a truculent personality and questionable intelligence), he has seriously damaged the state’s economic prospects. The taxes that Disney pays directly to the state of Florida, along with the sales and other taxes paid by Disney World visitors and employees runs into $billions. As Disney world is planning to expand further, quite possibly in another state, DeeSantis’ threats and actions toward the company can readily result in a loss of billions in tax revenues paid by Disney to Florida, along with decimating the hundreds of companies that support the Florida Disney operation. It is hard to understand why he has picked a fight with Disney in Florida, given the enormous amount Disney contributes to the state’s revenue. His truculent personality and marginally adequate intelligence make him in qualified to be Florida’s governor, let alone POTUS. His trends all appear to be heading in the wrong direction. And, it appears quite possible that he is headed toward an early retirement from politics.
